How has immigrant service in the U.S. military changed over time? My latest research finds that about 830,000 veterans and active-duty service members were born abroad. One in four of this group was born in Mexico or the Philippines. 🧵
After the Trump admin imposed a $100k fee on H-1B visas, one immigration lobbyist predicted, “Someone’s going to file suit, and when they win there’s going to be egg on a bunch of people’s faces.” But so far, there’s no egg.

“The Question of Standing in Leaks of Non-‘Salacious’ Data: When driver’s license numbers surface online after a data breach, their owners have standing to sue — at least in the Fourth Circuit.” Irene Loewenson has this post at the “Lawfare” blog. howappealing.abovethelaw.com…
When can you sue a company for failing to keep your personal data safe? It’s a thorny question. I dug into it in my first piece for @lawfare (and my first non-military-related piece in years!):
The Fourth Circuit’s recent ruling in Holmes v. Elephant Insurance Company makes it easier for people to sue companies when their personal information surfaces online. @iloewenson explains the court's opinion and its wider implications.

Under the policy, the Pentagon may revoke press passes for anyone it deems a security threat.
How will that be determined? Good question.

"Congress and the administration [must] resist pressure...to redirect this money to other priorities, as has happened in the past. The lobbying power of major defense acquisition programs far outmatches those speaking up for military personnel."

I blended right in! It was a great opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge about ditties and the Slinky Effect
I once invited media to a @USMC b-day run from Pentagon to the War Memorial, met with laughs and “yeah rights” from Press. Except one. @iloewenson was like, “I’m new, can I come?” She showed up in purple among a sea of green on green. It was the start of a great relationship.
Today is my last day at Military Times. I have loved reporting on the Marine Corps for the past two years. To my editors, to my colleagues, to the many Marines who have let me tell their stories: I am deeply grateful.
Cpl. Gage Barbieri became the second Marine corporal since at least 2008 (and maybe ever) to receive the Meritorious Service Medal. The truck mechanic fixed costly, potentially dangerous issues with technical manuals for a tactical vehicle when he was 19.

When Marine Gen. Eric M. Smith collapsed last fall while suffering cardiac arrest, a series of events and the quick thinking of numerous people lined up to save his life.
This is his story. And their story, too.

I was honored to receive @MarineCorpsFdn's Major Megan McClung award on Saturday, for reporting about Marines overseas. My story was about the Marine air traffic controllers who played a crucial role in ensuring the safe exit of refugees from Afghanistan in 2021.
Thanks to @MarineCorpsFdn for the award, my parents for traveling down to Quantico to cheer me on, my editor @_andreascott for her help on this piece and the Marines I interviewed for sharing their stories with me. You can read about those Marines here: marinecorpstimes.com/news/yo…
